We live in a "good vibes only" world. Social media highlights and cultural pressure tell us that if we aren't happy, we're failing. But what if that pressure is actually making us miserable?

In this episode, Nate and Tony challenge the stigma around negative emotions. We explore why feelings like sadness, grief, anger, and anxiety aren't flaws to be fixed - they are features to be listened to.

Using the analogy of a "check engine light," we discuss how these uncomfortable emotions are actually signals that something under the hood needs attention. We also open up about our own recent battles with grief and health crises, and offer practical tools for processing pain instead of numbing it.

If you're tired of faking it, this conversation is for you.

• Topics: Toxic positivity, processing grief, the purpose of anger, and practical mental health tools.

• Disclaimer: We are not medical professionals. If you are in crisis, please seek professional support.

It’s the most famous end-times concept in modern culture: a secret, sudden event where believers vanish and leave the world behind. But is the "Rapture" actually found in the pages of Scripture?

In the finale of our End Times series, we tackle the "Rapture" head-on. We dive deep into the three specific Bible passages most people use to support the idea - John 14, Matthew 24, and 1 Thessalonians 4 - and discover that when you read them in context, they tell a completely different story.

We move beyond the fear-based theology of "Left Behind" to uncover a biblical hope that is far more beautiful: not an escape plan from Earth, but the promise of God’s return to Earth to renew all things.

Join us as we wrap up this series by trading the anxiety of an evacuation for the hope of a restoration.

For most of our lives, we’ve been given one picture of the afterlife: we leave Earth and go "up" to a disembodied heaven of clouds, harps, and pearly gates. But what if that popular idea isn't actually what the Bible is pointing toward?

In Part 2 of our series on the end times, we challenge this "escape" narrative. We trace the real biblical story, from the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle, from Jesus as the walking Temple to the stunning finale in Revelation. What we find is a consistent, powerful theme: God's plan isn't to get us off Earth, it's to bring heaven down to Earth.

Join us as we explore the breathtaking vision of a "garden city" on a renewed creation, and what this means for our mission right here and now. If our goal isn't just to sell "tickets to heaven," what are we supposed to be doing? This conversation will change the way you see your purpose.

(And get ready for Part 3, where we'll finally ask: "So, what about the rapture?")
